Download

eboard is distributed as source code.
You will need a C++ compiler and the GTK 2.x libraries (any version above 2.4.0). You also need to have Perl 5 installed. Most Linux distributions fulfill the above requirements.

Current New Release (github-only): 1.1.2

eboard was last updated on the new github repository on March 2016, and the current version is 1.1.2.

The github version has some bugfixes (related to sound playing on
modern Linux distros), removed joystick input support, merged extra
packs (graphics and sound) into the main package, and added a built-in
implementation of FICS timeseal.

I will no longer provide binary packages of eboard. Linux distributions and repository mantainers
are welcome to compile and package the newer version at github.

Current Old Release: 1.1.1

eboard 1.1.1 was released on Feb 22nd, 2008. It fixes
text overlapping on the seek graph, adds non-ASCII character filtering,
allows text timestamps, provides better text searching and fixes
promotions in peer-to-peer games.
See the ChangeLog for further details.

eboard-extras

The eboard-extras packages are additional graphics and sounds for
eboard. Unpack and install these after eboard has been installed.
You can see examples of these graphics in the gallery section of the
screenshots page.

Compilation Instructions

Unpack the source code with the command tar jxvf
eboard-1.1.0.tar.bz2, and follow the instructions in the README
and INSTALL files.

To compile eboard with DGT board support you need
to have dgtnix installed, version
1.7 or later. The file Documentation/DGTboard.txt in eboard's source
distribution has detailed instructions for setting up dgtnix.
